Considered Both Products
Jotform
Chose Jotform
Jotform works better for our small business with the excellent free features
Chose Jotform
Not used any other products besides Google Forms.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is easier for the customers to use. They don't require any plug-ins or special procedures to be able to fill out the form and send it back to us. Adobe was more steps, and didn't always work as we expected. Making changes to the forms were also difficult after the fact.
Chose Jotform
More question types, conditions, calculated fields.
Chose Jotform
Allows anyone to use this platform
Chose Jotform
Jotform is so much more versatile that Google Forms, which we originally used. Google Forms was blocked by some of our users, where we have not had that problem with Jotform.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is an all-inclusive platform. Google lacks the features, templates, and form fields that are crucial in a form builder for any business. The branding and customization is a level far above what Google offers. I wouldn't go back to Google after working with Jotform as I …
Chose Jotform
Jotform looks more professional when the form is complete, I like being able to have questions side by side and on cards, as opposed to the stacked option google forms provides. I also like the logo addition and customisation options on Jotform. But the main advantage over …
Chose Jotform
I think it's better than mailchimp. Similar to Zapier in that it's just very sleak and user friendly but Jotform even more so. Wix is awesome too to be fair but yeah I'd say Jotform is up there with all of these. Better than mailchimp which can be really frustrating for me. …
Chose Jotform
API integration is smooth and possibility of customization are really really complete. Above all also the final user does not have problem in using the form
Chose Jotform
Google Forms and Microsoft SharePoint
Chose Jotform
We just cannot compare. Jotform is way ahead of the others: much more customization, options, logic... Jotform is just way better.
Chose Jotform
Docusign is more well known for signing legal documents across large enterprise but it was difficult to setup and get started on. Compared to Docusign, Jotform was much easier to build, design and create our first form which we were able to embed on our website straight away. …
Chose Jotform
Jotform's free tier seems stronger than some of the entry-level tiers of other products, which is why we decided to test it.
Chose Jotform
Jotform vs Google
- Submissions are organized nicely in Jotform
- Jotform has creative freedom. Google doesn't have as many question options and editing abilities.
Chose Jotform
Jotform has so many more features to choose from when creating a form or survey and the way you get your data is unbeatable as far as it collecting it and putting it together to have and discuss the submissions. The basic free option is also better. You get way more submissions …
Chose Jotform
DigiSigner does not offer a free option.
Chose Jotform
Although Calendly excels in appointment scheduling, Jotform surpasses it by providing a comprehensive suite of features at an affordable rate, making it an ideal choice for emerging businesses looking to maximize value.
Chose Jotform
I have used Paperform which was hard to use and did not offer a free version. I have also tried Typeform but had to pay for the ability for my customers to upload a photo.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is abysmal and unintuitive compared to fillout.com. Its customer service is also abysmal. The feature set at Jotform is nothing special compared to alternatives. The service cost is on par with or more expensive than alternatives. There is no reason to use Jotform …
Chose Jotform
Jotform offers better integration where you can publicly list the form for anyone with a link can submit informaiton and we are able to get full PDF reports on those worksheets. Nothing currently does something as simple as this. Jotform's user experience is a whole lot better.
SmartRecruiters
Chose SmartRecruiters
In terms of functionality and product development - SmartRecruiters is leaps ahead of other ATS platforms I've reviewed. The real differentiator for me is the ability to really customise the system and workflows for your needs and that the backend can be managed by a Recruiter …
Chose SmartRecruiters
We chose SmartRecruiters because we didn't have an ATS. We were looking for a tool that allowed multicasting but also responses to candidates automatically and deferred. We were also looking for a tool allowing the centralization of data with fluid and accessible collaboration …
Chose SmartRecruiters
Price, configurability, automation capability. At the top with Teamtailor and Workable IMO.
Chose SmartRecruiters
Smartrecruiters matches all request from our recrutement team, specially about the fact that this is easy to use as we wanted managers to have the hand on the tool. This is also easy to train them with Smartrecruiters and wuth the help center, better than some other tools. It …
Chose SmartRecruiters
We previously used SnapHire which required a different account for each of our brands, and SmartRecruiters has been a vast improvement for our business in integrating our brands onto one applicant tracking site. This improves both the recruiter and hiring manager experience, …
Chose SmartRecruiters
I really don't know this one. I am a franchise and our home office said SmartRecruiter is preferred.
Chose SmartRecruiters
All in one solution with enterprise capabilities and a brilliant UI.
Chose SmartRecruiters
I have used several recruiting platforms during my career and every one has its pros and cons. SmartRecruiters is extremely helpful with cross-team collaboration and interview scheduling, however I think needs strong resume searching capabilities. I am overall satisified with …
Chose SmartRecruiters
Much better features and support
Chose SmartRecruiters
SmartRecruiters is connected with LinkedIn and it is very user friendly. I can even reply from my email account to the candidates and the conversation is saved in SmartRecruiters, which makes a recruiter's life easy. We can add reviews and ratings for candidates so it helps our …
Chose SmartRecruiters
I selected SmartRecruiters in just first go in its demo itself as I liked [its] features very much. The major thing is that I don't need to make now excel to store Data. Plus communication is also going smooth. [In the end,] I can track every [recruiter's] data how much work …
Chose SmartRecruiters
Overall, SmartRecruiters is more modern, cutting edge and has an easier learning curve than the others we evaluated.
Chose SmartRecruiters
SmartRecruiters was a good fit at the time of purchase. The price was competitive and the features were exactly what we needed to move as a blended company with multiple locations, brand names, and a large employee base. The company really did a good job of helping us get …
Chose SmartRecruiters
I have only used our previous tool, which was an in-house development.
Chose SmartRecruiters
We used Qandidate before it was bought out by SmartRecruiters. We liked Qandidate, but features were very basic. SmartRecruiters has more features and the online application looks more professional.
Chose SmartRecruiters
SmartRecruiters is fully functional for recruiting and hiring. It eliminates tedious manual data entry and automate processes, so there's no need to chase interviewers down to get feedback and make sure all relevant information is available in one system.
Chose SmartRecruiters
We actually use both. The Applicant Manager (TAM) is more expensive but also more thorough. We like TAM and SmartRecruiters more than ZipRecruiter and Google Hire.
Chose SmartRecruiters
I have not used or evaluated others.

SmartRecruiters has allowed us to enable our hiring managers to self-service their requirements for recruitment, simplifying our internal processes. We have visibility of recruitment requirements and significantly improved our approvals process using the software. We have been able to configure our hiring processes relevant to different areas of the business. Collaboration for our hiring teams (managers and business partners) is simple and effective. Candidate experience is enhanced and engaging. The platform has brought many benefits to our Resourcing business partners and hiring managers. We have visibility and insightful data which has integrity, allowing us to make informed business decisions. Our offer process has seen significant improvements and provides an engaging candidate experience, previously this was a labour-intensive process that is now streamlined and automated. The recently launched Community for collaboration amongst customers is very helpful and insigtful for how other people are using the software and exploring ideas with each other

Cons
  • I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff.
  • Flexibility in css.
  • More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box.
  • A phone number entry field.

  • Not having feature of referral data, who has referred
  • Another problem is that in [the] emails section it shows 'company name' field will show as Smartrecruiters vs. the name of our agency that will make confuse to [candidates]
  • Major problem of this is that it does not support api in the free version

I thoroughly enjoy using SmartRecruiters and have shared this feedback with those responsible, however I am not a decision maker in the process. I understand that at the moment there are lots of factors affecting the economy and business outcomes, so I cannot comment with certainty on the renewal of SmartRecruiters at this time, not involved in the confirmation of renewal.

Usability
It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked.

I would give this rating as overall it a great combo of all your problems. With just one click you can get away with all your problems such as recruitment, candidate update, Interview scheduling, updating candidates, reports of a job perspective, and recruiters perspective. Usability is worth of SmartRecruiters. The dashboard is also very attractive and once you open you will love working on this platform again and again. I would say it is the best platform to use once for smooth work in your organization.

Support Rating
Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent.

Response is normally very fast. There are times, however, when the response is not useful. It is difficult to work with the reporting and the offer letter templates, and the front line support agents usually are not very knowledgeable. Second, if there are any issues with integrations, the regular support agents will not be able to help you. You'll have to create that ticket and ask them to escalate it to an integration specialist.

Alternatives Considered
Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team.
When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us.

We previously used SnapHire which required a different account for each of our brands, and SmartRecruiters has been a vast improvement for our business in integrating our brands onto one applicant tracking site. This improves both the recruiter and hiring manager experience, and is much more user-friendly for tracking job approvals and postings, and tracking candidates through their applications.

Return on Investment
  • It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data.
  • While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained.
  • I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent.

  • SmartRecruiters has unified the approach of my recruiting team, so everyone is processing their jobs the same way, which gives me the confidence that my payroll system will be loaded correctly.
  • SmartRecruiters has offered me integrations with electronic signatures, background checks, and job boards so that I don't have to manage multiple platforms to see recruitment/hiring information.
  • SmartRecruiters has given me the ability to see at-a-glance how we are doing in recruiting and our application volume to see how well our efforts are working.
